I NEED ADVICE ON GETTING A NEW PC FROM BESTBUY
« on: October 02, 2010, 03:11:37 AM »

TOTALLY OFF TOPIC I KNOW, I KNOW...
WOULDNT LET ME POST ANYWHERE ELSE.

Anyway, I have a $700 dollar best buy gift card and want to get a new pc, "tower" no monitor.

Im finally getting rid of the crap dell dimension e310 i got now.

I want a pc with good ram, fast processor, good audio and graphics card, and something that can be upgraded in the not so distant future.



Please if u can spare acouple minutes, check out the site and let me know what pc u think is good, for me to do some music production and run programs like abletonlive, fl studio, soundforge, photoshop, nero..


thanks dudes, peace

Product reviews exist for a reason and can be easily found via Google.

Only $700? Well, that might make things a little difficult.

In terms of music production, you're going to want to make sure your system has the following features (which might be hard to do for only $700—can you supplement this?):

Humidity and Temperature Controls
Energy Star qualified for best energy savings
Ice maker and dispenser
In-door Water & Ice Dispenser
Reversible door
Adjustable shelving to accommodate high items or slide-outs to assist in retrieving food
At least 2 but preferably 3 drawers/crispers
Glass shelving to contain spills
Removable door bins
Deli or meat keeper
Enclosed back coils
Quick cool compartment
Freezer shelving
Freezer interior light
Gallon Jug Bin
Butter Keeper

I'm thinking maybe this might be a good deal for you, but I'm not sure how many cores it has: http://www.sears.ca/product/kenmore-md-more-value-30-e-star-206-cu-ft-top-mount-fridge-white/646-000774190-970-43282

There, hope I could help, member of so many valuable contributions to our forum.

Stay away from Sears Lady Marmalade.  If you have any problems, their repair service is the epitome of incompetent.

Pffff, seriously.  This guy is loooooooong gone and we stopped caring about this on October 4th.

Probably earlier than that.
